The Things I've Seen

It takes you in and tears it all out It tears it all out But you never know It takes your life, turns you into someone And you know it won't be long Someone you'd never know Don't claim that you know me When you know very well That I have seen through it all And don't claim that you know why When you know everything When you've seen things for what they were, yeah Inside you feel it taking over It's taking over When you feel it most It draws you in and tears it away It tears it away Then it leaves you lost Don't claim that you know me When you know very well That I have seen through it all And don't claim that you know why When you know everything When you've seen things for what they were For what they were, oh oh Oh oh, for what they were Remember the days when our fears had long since died And now how they age us They've taken all our lives, our lives It takes you in and tears it all out It tears it all out But you never know It takes your life, turns you into someone And you know it won't be long Someone you'd never know Don't claim that you know me When you know very well That I have seen through it all And don't claim that you know why When you know everything When you've seen things for what they are Sore again is this old wound It overshadows everything And I have seen through it all All the things I've seen
